New paper from the Fones lab in BMC Biology! Method for assessing fungal growth form w/o relying on time-consuming microscopy. Instead, we show that DNA:chitin ratio (measured by qPCR & WGA-FITC fluorescence) is a good proxy for fungal cell polarity index: rdcu.be/dwhNk

Very proud to see your work out now Ursula Oggenfuss! We hope it inspires others to screen such fusions in much more detail.

New preprint from Fones Lab Exeter & Sarah Gurr Lab - nice to have the fantastic work of William Kay finally getting out there! #Zymoseptoria blastospores survive a shockingly long time w/o any external nutrients & can infect seedlings even after 7 weeks in soil doi.org/10.1101/2024.0…
